A chosen exile : a history of racial passing in American life / Allyson Hobbs. by Hobbs, Allyson Vanessa. Harvard University Press, 2014. Call #: 305.800973 H682c Subjects Blacks -- Race identity -- History.   Passing (Identity) -- United States -- History.   Racially mixed people -- United States -- History.   Exiles -- United States -- History.   United States -- Race relations -- History. ISBN:  9780674368101 067436810X Description:  382 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-363) and index. Summary:  "It was a chosen exile, a separation from one racial identity and the leap into another. To pass as white in the antebellum South was to escape the shackles of slavery. When the initially hopeful period of Reconstruction proved short-lived, passing became an opportunity to defy Jim Crow and strike out on one's own. Hobbs explores the possibilities and challenges that racial indeterminacy presented to men and women living in a country obsessed with racial distinctions. It is also a tale of grief, loneliness, and isolation that often accompanied the rewards."--From publisher.
